Speaking at a demonstration in Edinburgh last month, Lord Anderson said: "Germany said that she required colonies to relieve her of her over-popu-lation, and she said in a most bare-faced I way that she was strong enough to take j England's best colonies from her, and that, she proposed to do that."
